Photo Flash: Chimera Ensemble presents the World Premiere of CAM BABY

Matabang and Joseph secretly web-cam girls who rent a room in Joseph's apartment, and share the footage with the Brobonic Union, their secret society of riends. Joseph's having moral misgivings but can't bring himself to possibly lose the friendship of Matabang. When he rents a room to Clara, who's never really had a boyfriend before, the operation is in jeopardy. Then Clara starts dating Tim and a plethora of anonymous strangers are tuning in to their every move online. Touching on issues of privacy, consent, identity, lookism, and the value of women, 'Cam Baby' is a fast-paced ensemble comedy about the selves we create and the stories we watch. CAM BABY is a rich, sensitive tale that explores voyeurism, privacy, and the complexity of relationships in the digital era.

Cast Announced for MUSE OF FIRE at Redtwist Theatre

This is their story, as one group struggles to perform a farce based on the first great anti-Semitic tragedy of the 20th century: the infamous Dreyfus Affair.
